Does TanLens generate meeting notes or summaries?

It generates a transcript you can edit and export. It does not produce an automatic summary or action-item list, so a notes tool is still the better fit if that is what you need.

Can I move a JotMe workflow to TanLens?

The captions and transcript part can move if your meeting audio is in a browser tab. Notes, summaries and integrations do not have a direct equivalent in TanLens.

Which is better for sales calls?

It depends on the output you need. TanLens is useful when you want a bilingual transcript with timings for review or export; a notes-first tool is useful when the team only needs a summary and follow-up tasks.

TanLens vs JotMe: live captions or meeting notes?

Compare TanLens and JotMe for translated meetings: captions and transcript export versus meeting notes, as of 2026-11, with fit notes for each.

Start live captions Transcribe a file

TanLens focuses on live bilingual captions and the subtitle files you get afterwards. JotMe is a Chrome extension centered on meeting notes and translation, with minute-based pricing, as of 2026-11. They overlap in meetings, but they produce different artifacts: TanLens produces a transcript and subtitle files, while JotMe is oriented toward notes from the meeting.

01Different centers of gravity

A caption tool has to keep up with speech, show the translation while people are still talking, and preserve timing for export. A notes tool can wait until the meeting is over and spend its effort on organizing what was decided. JotMe’s meeting-notes focus and minute-based pricing suit people who want a written record of decisions; TanLens suits people who need the spoken words in two languages, with cue times, across meetings, streams and uploaded files.

02What TanLens is designed for

TanLens captures a Chrome or Edge tab, a microphone or an uploaded file and translates into 20 languages. The transcript keeps the original and the translation, and you can edit both before exporting SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT. Broadcast rooms share captions with an audience, which is useful for churches, classes and conferences. There is no bot, no calendar integration and no automatic summary; the output is the caption text and the files you make from it.

03Where JotMe is the better fit

If the deliverable is a set of meeting notes, action items or a summary rather than subtitle files, a notes-first tool is the more natural choice. Minute-based pricing can also be convenient if your usage is irregular and you prefer to pay only for the minutes you meet. As of 2026-11, review JotMe’s current feature list and pricing directly, since extension products change quickly.
